Radio DJ Neil Fox has revealed he and British music icon Sir Cliff Richard offered one another support - after they were both wrongfully accused of historic sexual abuse.

The former chart show host, who went by the name of Doctor Fox, was arrested at Magic FM headquarters in September 2014 after allegations were made by two separate women.

He was eventually found not guilty of all charges following a trial, where he admitted “over-the-top” chat and “horseplay”, but insisted it was nothing sinister or sexual.

Around a similar time, Richard was also the subject of allegations, though he was never arrested or charged.
